replace resistor, better safe than sorry, last time I looked it was like $8. I have not seen this problem so much with the focus's, more with escorts and contours, but I'm sure ford hasn't changed the design too much. I know with the contours they actually had a problem with the wiring and had a recall on both. but no such luck with the focus. but when you change the resistor check the wire to it and make sure the connector isn't melted.

Its sounds like it is the blower resister, if your car has one. I know Mazda trucks were notorious for this same type of issue in the late 80's and early 90's. I would call your local dealer parts dept. and ask them to look this part up for you (I am almost certain that this will be a dealer item only probably $25-$50), and if your car does have a blower resister ask your parts guy if he has seen this issue before.
